THE LIGHT OF THE EVENING


I love the way light speckles across our front porch in the evening.

Just as it hits about six or seven at night and the sun slowly begins to make its decent across the sky, we take a few minutes to sit and enjoy the last of the heavy, summer air.  It won't be much longer until our late evenings begin to be lit up by moonlight instead of the sun; the days are much shorter then.  It's still fascinating to me how new things are to Sofia now that she can walk on her own.  Even the sidewalk in front of our house must seem like an infinite road into the glistening golden light-- I want to keep as much of that magic alive as I can.

  3. ...and soon it will be our turn to have light on our front porch at 7pm instead of battening down the hatches at 5. I can't wait. Those dying days of summer always make me feel a little bit sad that it's almost all over again.

    And I don't know if I've said this before but Sofia, ohhhhh my. I want to squeeze those chubby legs! She is so precious x

Week 27 Update

Hello fellow internet peoples.  Decided to give a HD video update for the beginning of my third trimester.  (WE SO EXCITED!)  It was a ton of fun to make, this time we were at home in Chicago.  Erick had a bunch of lighting equipment after all the interviews he did with the chicago school councils, so before he had to ship them back we took full advantage ;)  I'm learning more about codec and h.264 and prores 422 and although it makes absolutely no sense to me, maybe it will be useful knowledge in the future.  What do I know? It was obviously a very gesture laden, emotional, 10 minute interview.  I hope you all enjoy it.  It really is longer than I expected but instead of completely chopping it up, I decided to leave it how it is.  It's pure, natural, pregnant-y goodness of brain farts, odd humor, and searching for the right words.  If you make it to the end, remind me to give you a gold star or something.  I'll do it. ** A ...

bump : week 23

The sub-zero weather has kept us indoors, but it hasn't kept us from having the most amount of fun possible.  I've been enjoying hot cups of tea served with teaspoons of sugar and condensed milk, curling up with my favorite blanket and enjoying the tap-tap, nudge-nudge of the littlest De La Rosa.  Though I find myself playing catch up yet again (I'm 24 weeks!) I'm not complaining in the least bit.  I've had this little family of mine all to myself for a full four days with no work, no emails, no agenda and no pressure.   Ahhhhh... happy winter celebration, little baby. PS- did you know Erick finally launched his website ?  It's up, it's responsive, and it's gorgeous. I'm a proud muma bear.
